It explains that EQ involves self-awareness of one's own emotions and the emotions of others, self-management of emotions, and social skills. The five main components of EQ are identified as emotional self-awareness, managing emotions, using emotions to maximize thinking, developing empathy, and social skills. Further models and research on EQ are presented, including Goleman's competency model and studies on childhood development and EQ.

personal decisions.

Part 1- The 5 components of EI
* EI is like a smoke alarm--we’re not good at
influencing whether a particular emotion will
arise. EI tells us something is arising.
* We do have tremendous individual
variability in the degree to which we can
consciously limit the duration of unpleasant
emotions and the degree of influence over
the behaviors which may arise.
How to improve?
* Develop strategies and plans to recognize
your emotions, learn how to label them
* Develop your social skills
